Once a low blow, always a low blow? This is undoubtedly the credo of Dillon Brooks, who took advantage of his first official under the tunic of the Rockets in pre-season to be excluded following an arm sent flying by Daniel Theis… After only five minutes, it promises !
It’s only pre-season left, but damn, this Dillon Brooks isn’t smart. His big World Cup almost made us think that he had become a serious player, capable of great feats on a basketball court, particularly when defending. It’s partly true, but it always takes this stupid mistake to ruin everything. The very stupid and very useless move which makes him stand out in the bad sense of the word.

His victim of the evening? Daniel Theis. On a big defensive sequence, Brooks approaches Theis who comes to provide a screen to Bennedict Mathurin. Nothing unusual, it’s basketball… but it was obviously necessary to send an arm into the family jewels of the German power forward. Come on, we recognize that there may still be an involuntary character to the movement, because Brooks is caught up in the race. However, the referees did not hear it that way. Video review, flagrant foul 2, immediate expulsion.
The refereeing body has not forgotten who Dillon Brooks is, who risks spending a fairly long season in Houston if he does not hold his own in terms of behavior on the field. It’s only pre-season, but the warning is already largely palpable. And it materializes by being sent to the shower after only a few minutes of play.
